Recommendation 15
15
Deferred
Paragraph: 93
Dual responsibilities for MoD climate change director hinder urgent decarbonisation efforts.
Conclusion
Given increasing scientific concerns around failing to hold to the 1.5° limit on warming and the need for Defence to transition from establishing a comprehensive baseline of carbon emissions in Epoch 1 to significantly reducing emissions in Epoch 2, having the climate change director also responsible for the Union and Levelling-Up in the Ministry of Defence may be too distracting for the important work that needs to be achieved at pace.
